Before taking klonopin, I did years of therapy, relaxation techniques, excersize, meditation, etc. Though all things helped me it was not until I took Klonpin that my anxiety was manageable. I've tried many other meds, none have worked as well.
After years of being on Klonopin I wanted to see if I was better, didn't need to take it for my anxiety. But when I stopped, it all came back. I had forgotten how uncomfortable I was, particularly with SAD.
As far as I'm concerned I'm taking Klonopin (or some other anti anxiety med should something come out better) the rest of my life.
As my doctor told me "it's good for you, take it." I didn't realize what he meant then, but do now. That it's better for my health to be without anxiety by taking klonopin that it is to be very anxious without it. For me, therapy alone was not enough. Just my take......
